Action Now Seniors birthday celebrants for November and December are: back row – Ed Beloin, Marcel Lacoursiere, John Sendecki, Howard Weitzel, Tom Nuttall, Gordon Smith; seated – Marie Soiseth, Muriel Miller, Lynn McLean and Eileen Lacoursiere. The activities at Action Now Senior Centre during the holidays and early January were not well attended due to the extremely cold weather and flu and colds that were affecting many, causing them to stay indoors and recover. However with temperatures moderating this week, we expect normal attendance from now on.
“Both Kelley and I believe in giving back to one’s community and our commitment to BUHF is one we both feel strongly about. The pandemic has made this a tough year for our frontline healthcare workers and we decided to augment our healthcare philanthropy by donating more and are happy we were able to gift BUH Foundation with a $10,000 cheque,” said David Dutton, partner and account representative of First Rate Financial Manulife Securities. Kelley Bahrey, also partner and account representative agreed. “David and I sat down to discuss how we could help our community during this difficult time and we both wanted our support to go to where it really counts … helping our frontline healthcare workers do their job and that would be through better medical technology. The fact our donation supports the laboratory at BUH means exactly that.”
